Sam Sills

A multiple World Champion, Sam's skills extend from racing through to pretty much all water sports! His exploits in the youth racing classes placed him among the best racers in the world in his age group, with European and World Titles. He has stepped up to the RS-X class where a successful career lies ahead, already picking up a superb bronze medal at the RS-X Youth Worlds!

Sam’s super-friendly, approachable nature make him a popular face on the race circuit and a hero to the younger generation. With talent that extends well beyond course racing, he competes in slalom to a very high level, speed sails when conditions allow and can be found shredding waves at home on the north Cornish coast whether on a surfboard, SUP board or Starboard Kode.

SAM SILLS STARBOARD GRAN CANARIA

This winter we were training in Gran Canaria and made few of friends on the island.

I just wanted to update you all on what I’m doing at the moment. The last year I’ve been training with friends from Sweden and Norway, with the aim to get them to Rio. Alongside I’ve been working part-time in design and everything is going well, although I can’t do many events because there quite expensive.

So I’m training hard, and as soon as I can push the button with the sponsorship to run a full Olympic campaign, then I will do it. It’s getting close, and I can’t wait to do it! I’m now here and just spent last few days at Pozo.

It’s been so inspiring to be on the water and in this small town. The last days I got to share the session with people like Brawinho, Thomas Traversa, Graham Ezzy, Alex Mussolini, Robby Swift, Sarah Quita Offringa!! It was a dream come true!

OLYMPIC CAMPAIGN

Just returned from the French Semi Olympic Regatta in La Rochelle, France.

Frustratingly finished 4th, 1 point from a medal.

Conditions were varied from storm racing to light wind power pumping. Raced for 5 days and the final Medal race held in the city centre, finished 3rd in the medal race.

Kitevision film crew from Cornwall were there to film and document the trip. More Pictures and video to come! Other sponsors and supporters: Jeep UK, St Austell brewery, Red paddle co, Brittany Ferries, Rocktape, Autospray, Kitevision

In Tonsberg (Norway) conditions have been amazing, every wind condition possible from 30 to 0 knots and we have completed 15 hours of training in 4 days. We just had 2 days recovery and spent one day in a beautiful part of Norway called Arendal, in friends log cabin by the side of crystal clear fjord. Very inspiring place. Now heading off to Denmark and Sweden for more training can’t wait!
